I'm terrible at aquascaping and stumbled onto CeramEco. I love the looks of their scapes, and decided to give it a try. I bought a piece for my 12 Gallon NanoCube and decided to give it a try. I setup the 12 G NC with nothing but the Cerameco and some Caribsea Special Grade Reef Sand to help buffer the water a bit. Cycled it with Stability and some live sand from my 29 Gallon Biocube.

I've had my smaller tank up and running with the Cerameco for about 2 months now and it seems to working out well so far. I've been moving my mushrooms and zoas over to the smaller tank for now and want to keep that just a small Mushroom & Zoa garden, but haven't decided what fish I'd like to put in there yet.

I've had a Biocube 29 up and running for about 9 months now with ~30-40 pounds of live rock in it. I've tried a few times but still can't arrange the rocks in a way that I like and always just wind up clouding up the tank when I move the rocks to the point that I can't see anything in it and thus can't scape it aat all let alone to my likings. After having messed with it more times than I can count I want to give up on trying to scape it and just replace the live rock for another piece from Cerameco which I think would look alot nicer. I'm wondering what would be the best way to make this switch in a tank that's already up and running?

I would buy all the product you want to switch out to and lay it out the way you want it to look. Take a pictre so you remember, then slowly replace 1 peice every week or two so you don't lose the majority of your biofilter.
